Story summary

In Orange County, Florida, on Wednesday, police discovered the bodies of Carlo and Melanie Montiel Infantino, both 17 years old, along with their father Ivan Montiel Roa, 63, in an apparent murder-suicide. The grim scene was found after a concerned neighbor called 911 because they hadn't seen the family for about a week. Inside the home, the twins were discovered dead from multiple stab wounds in the living room, while their father was found deceased in the master bedroom. Police suspect that Montiel Roa killed his children before taking his own life; however, no details on how he died have been disclosed by authorities. The family’s tragedy is further compounded by the recent death of the twins' mother earlier in June, and the dissolution of their father's construction business in September.
